Megatune won't open

Post by 800vtwin »

Sometimes megatune won't open. (vista) But deleteing megatune.cfg fixes it. Then i just have to reset comm port. Any ideas?

I do switch or look at different msq's alot. But i have never noticed this until more recently.

800vtwin,

Usually MegaTune is actually opening, but it 'off-screen'. MegaTune.cfg contains something like:

COM3
100
115200
193 18 1292 927
192 127 987 610

The last two lines are the coordinates on the screen of the MT window corners. They get updated whenever you resize the window. If these get scrambled, the window doesn't appear. Deleting the last two lines normally works to solve problems, but to prevent problems you should make sure the user has full permissions for the file to read, write, etc..

I am under admin, so i should have permission, but i'll double check. That is exactly whats happening. Megatune opens in a tab but no window opens.

Thanks for the direction, i will look into it further.
